Sports games are competitive in nature, but that doesn't mean they can't be cooperative as well. The upcoming Volley Pals, from indie developer NAISU (maker of Mokoko X and several upcoming games), adapts the sport of volleyball while also allowing two local players to compete against an AI team. That's how you do it, folks! Preorders for the Xbox version of Volley Pals opened up this week, and Switch preorders are soon to follow.

WayForward's Spidersaurs is a charming run-and-gun shooter that launched digitally last year. The game combines the excitement and challenge of Contra with a colorful Saturday morning cartoon style. It also features 2-player local co-op, a helpful feature when blasting away at hordes of dinosaur/spider hybrids. Collectors will soon have a chance to join in the fun now that Limited Run Games has opened preorders for both standard and collector's editions of Spidersaurs.

Yes, dudes and dudettes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge will be launching on consoles and PC later this week.

Today, Kid Katana Records officially opened up preorders for three editions of the soundtrack. What's more, the Xbox version of Shredder's Revenge can finally be preordered (for gamers who won't be playing for free on Game Pass).

Well, physical preorders have just opened up via Limited Run Games, Merge Games, and select retailers. There are seemingly miles and piles of physical editions to choose from, so we'll break them all down.

Even as Warhammer: Vermintide 2 continues to get updates, Swedish developer Fatshark is preparing their next big game. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a co-op focused first-person action/shooting game set in the sci-fi branch of the Warhammer universe. Preorders are now open for the upcoming Xbox and PC game, and a new trailer lets gamers know what dark tidings the game has in store for them.

It has certainly been a cowabunga-cool week, Turtles fans. The highly anticipated TMNT: The Shredder’s Revenge finally got a release window yesterday, and preorders have opened for a physical limited edition of the also-anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. The limited edition of the 13-game collection will come with some attractive physical items, but gamers may balk at how much the whole thing costs.

It’s hard to imagine nowadays, but long ago, two of the 8-bit era’s most popular beat ‘em up franchises once teamed up in a single game called Battletoads/Double Dragon. Developed by the wizards at Rare, the crossover game deftly mixed the two properties to produce a game that remains well-liked by those who played it. Sadly, Batt...

Rebellion's Sniper Elite series is the most venerable and successful series of sniping games out there. Heck, one of my first reviews for our site was 2012's Sniper Elite V2. Time flies in real life, but not so much in Sniper Elite 5, which, like previous entries, takes place during World War II. The new game sees series protagonist Karl Fairburne fighting to stop the Nazi's Operation Kraken. Xbox, PlayStation, and PC gamers will get the chance to get kraken when Sniper Elite 5 launches on May 26.
